Well, tweaked a bit from a couple of other people's designs and the
datasheet spec. Until NVidia gets the interlaced out, it still seems like the
best bet is either ATI or a newer Matrox card. I think that some nvidia cards
are incapable of interlaced modes, even driver issues aside. Still, with the
appropriate setup, it works like a champ. Now, to just make a mythtv theme
that is interlaced-friendly (no single-pixel horizontal lines, etc)....
